The Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Program, administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) just opened. There's over $2 billion available and the deadline to apply is June 22, 2026. Now (as in, this week) is the time to assess whether your railtown has a qualifying project. This program is one of the most direct federal funding opportunities available to address them.

Your contributions directly fund the development of resources and initiatives that keep rail communities safe and thriving.

This rule requires railroads to provide real-time, electronic train consist information to authorized emergency response officials.
